Question

Given the following reaction:

\[ \text{HNO}_2(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightleftharpoons \text{NO}_2^-(aq) + \text{H}_3\text{O}^+(aq) \]

What happens when some \(\text{HNO}_2(aq)\) is removed from the solution?

- O The rate of the forward reaction increases, producing more \(\text{H}_3\text{O}^+(aq)\).
- O The rate of the reverse reaction increases, producing more \(\text{HNO}_2(aq)\).
- O The rate of the reverse reaction increases, producing more \(\text{H}_3\text{O}^+(aq)\).
- O The rate of the forward reaction increases, producing more \(\text{HNO}_2(aq)\).

Expert Solution

Step 1

For an equilibrium reaction ; we know if we remove reactant or add products ,the equilibrium shifts toward left direction/reverse reaction increases i.e. more reactants will form .

And of we add reactant or remove product the equilibrium will shift towards right side /forward reaction increases i.e. more products will form.
